  1. The most people I've seen in line for it was 30 and at most a 5 minute wait. The park is only open on Saturdays/Sundays right now. Several rides are down too including several big ones. Titan, Mr. Freeze, Judge Roy Scream, and several others. Your call.
  2. It makes sense to take it out. Absolutely no one rode it. When I mean no one I mean on a Saturday during peak hours with so many people over at the Joker and Riddler's Revenge, Harley Quinn sat there open waiting for enough people to run a cycle.
  3. Taken Saturday. It looks like Harley Quinn Spinsanity is going the way of the dodo bird. The whole section and smoking section is gone. Some benches remain for a tiny smoking section near it but HQSS probably has made it's last ride. It's off the app and it's off the park website.
  4. I don't know about other parks but Over Texas took out Panda Express and replaced it with a "Chop Six" over by the Oil Derrick Observation Tower.
  5. I can post regular updates and let you know when they open. As for Titan I really don't know. A lot can change in 2 months.
  6. 10/10 visit today. Hey the Joker is back up! Still a good ride. Batman ride ops crew was flying trains out today. Station wait at 5pm still unreal. 11/11 for ops. Trains were dispatching without stacking. Harley Quinn is probably out for good. Not even on website anymore. The Oil Derrick Observation Tower actually operated today. Winds were cooperative. Aquaman is showing signs of serious work this week. They will get it done. Summer yes but it will be a tight squeeze before Memorial Day Weekend. The turntable is finally taking shape. Lots of concrete and the (splash-trough?) seems to be in place. Sportsdude360^ has great pictures of the work. Aquaman will be a serious addition to the lineup of this park. A must-ride attraction every visit for sure. Traffic out of the park was a -100000. Park closed at 9pm and Texas Rangers were in top 9th down by 5 so the perfect mix for traffic jam. NEVER going right on Road to Six Flags during a Rangers game ever again. For anyone still wanting to go to SFOT for the first time beware Looooots of rides and still down. Titan, Judge, and Mr. Freeze still down with no signs of change. The park cut all power to Mr. Freeze. The lights were off on the queue but understandable due to an overheating motor and electrical spontaneous combustion. Mr. Freeze will be down for what appears to be a long time because those launch motors are not cheap. (Photo is Mr. Freeze queue line with all power cut to lights/the ride)
  7. Did anyone here recently use a Gold Flash Pass? I was told that you CAN reserve and ride New Texas Giant with GOLD. I previously thought that it was a Platinum only ride. I was also told that season-long Flash Passes are only available for your home park and not other Six Flags parks.
  8. Park was absolutely packed today but Good Friday so understandable. Mr. Freeze is out and for awhile too for obvious reasons. No movement on Speelunker’s it looks like from last week. Pandemonium is back up. Judge, the Joker, and Harley Quinn all still down Titan still is out. This park’s lineup is absolutely pummelled. Still 8/10 visit.
  9. Ah yes. The B&M surf coaster pulls into the station and you sit down as per the normal then a mechanical arm raises you up and flies you to the beach for some gnarly surf waves and chicken tenders.
  10. I saw on Screamscape that Pirate of Speelunker's Cave queue line had a fire the same day as Mr. Freeze?
  11. Certainly not within the next 2 weeks but for sure before Aquaman. They've done a lot with the queue line for Speelunker's but there's no telling with inside the ride.
  12. You weren't kidding. Website park map has the ride photoshopped out and IOS and Android apps have the ride as LABSICS: CLASSIFIED. Either one of three things. Staffing, mechanical, or no one rode it. During the most crowded time on a Saturday I've seen Harley Quinn ride operators waiting for people to show up to actually run the ride. Main queue had 0 people waiting sometimes.
  13. Mini-Update/Review incoming: For anyone wanting to go to SFOT this weekend they are open Friday-Monday but with massive holes in their rides lineup. The following rides are (probably) closed: Judge Roy Scream (Retrack? : down for weeks) Rodeo (Speelunker's Cave area construction) Titan (Lift hill chain broke : 6+ months and counting) (Giovanola went kaput so it's hard to get a ride-critical part like a lift hill chain) Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast (Spontaneous combustion) Pandemonium (unknown but closed all last weekend with blue tarp on top lift hill motor) The Joker (unknown problem but only operated 1 day in last 3 weeks so problems? That 1 day had 3 breakdowns in 45 minutes when I tried to ride) Harley Quinn Spinsanity (Closed all last weekend) Batwing (Some planes taken off arms) All Single Rider Lines are out for good it looks like too so it's about to be the queue line wait times from hell. I heard that people were abusing Single Rider line by demanding the Station Attendant put their group together while going through Single Rider lines. $199 season-long Gold Flash Pass looking like a solid gold purchase right now. I'm not dogging Six Flags at all. It's understandable that everyone got rocked with Covid money losses. The Dark Horse rides are Shockwave and Batman. I went on Saturday and waited at most 15 minutes for Shockwave during peak hours at 4:00. Batman is so ridiculous how short the wait time is (high capacity : 32 riders per cycle). The ride had a station wait at 4:45 on a Saturday! I was shocked. Six Flags Over Texas is a fun park but caution to the wind of any first-timers as lots and lots of rides are down.
  14. Video of the area evacuation and Arlington Fire Department arrival taken from Youtube: Channel 8 brief news story:

  16. That’s crazy. I had no idea the ride caught fire.
  17. I was just on Mr. Freeze shortly before this happened. One train got stuck in the launch tunnel and they shut down. I left for a little bit and fire engines were going inside the gate next to Batman towards Mr. Freeze. Shortly after they shut down Mini Mine and Mine Train as well as all of Gotham City. I don't know what happened but apparently the problem stemmed from Mr. Freeze and Arlington Fire Department logs (pardon low quality photo) show a Fire Department Assist to SFOT at 6:46 pm just 14 minutes before park closed (same time all this happened). I don't know what happened but Mr. Freeze may just have been added to the long list of SFOT rides on the fritz. Hope everyone is okay.
  18. Did anyone notice what happened tonight about 15 minutes before the park closed? Security shut down the whole area of Gotham City and Boomtown at about 6:45 p.m.
  19. The first day of operation for Giant, Runaway Mountain, and Batman Single Rider lines was March 12. Not even a month. They made those rails and signs for nothing.
  20. I’m not kidding and I wish I was. Every. Single. Rider. Line is gone. They added this rail at Giant last month to seperate stairs for single riders. It was for nothing. I walked by all of the single rider line rides that had it. Donezo.
  21. Also The Single Rider lines for New Texas Giant, Batman, and Runaway Mountain were added just last month so they decided to take them all out.
  22. El Diablo New Texas Giant Harley Quinn Spinsanity Batman: the Ride Runaway Mountain La Vibora Superman: Tower of Power Pandemonium The Joker and any other Single Rider lines at Six Flags Over Texas are gone. I’m not sure if it’s for the day but it looks permanent. All signage regarding Single Rider lines at SFOT are gone too.
